    Falafel gyro and mix platter
    Kevin K.

    Glad to see an alternative to a very popular halal place I usually frequent, but this one is closer to home! I was very excited to try this restaurant when I learned of it and eventually had 2 of their items delivered. The packaging of the platter was well above my expectations while the gyro was a little messier than I expected. Right off bat the seasoning of the fries were really good and were somewhat soggy but that may have been due to the fact that it was sitting in a sealed container. The chicken reminded me of an indian-style tandoori chicken with how red it appeared. The tenderness of the chicken was well received as well as that flavor..wow, would be my first time favoring the chicken more than the lamb gyro protein. The lamb was okay, pretty average.. I get really skeptical whenever halal places have cubed gyro meat as it often means that it was packaged or frozen etc. and not prepared fresh off the spit roast slow-cooked over flame. Under it all awaited the amazingly marinated rice soaking up all the juices from the protein that completely took me by surprise as I was half expecting the typical yellow rice here. The rice paired with actual quality salad on the side blew me away and made me forget about "that other halal place." The portion size was excellent and left me full with just the platter but i took a couple bites of the falafel gyro because it looked good despite how messy it was. It was alright, i've had better falafel but this one was above average i'll give it that. The gyro takes the same salad as that which was in the platter with some falafel. It comes down to whether you are in a pita flatbread kind of mood or a rice mood that day. I really preferred their platter. Both can be topped with their white sauce, spicy red sauce, bbq sauce, green sauce, mango habanero sauce, honey bbq and ranch sauce. I recommend going crazy with the sauces hehe. I look forward to coming in person to their brick and mortar location when the weather permits to get a better representation of what their service is like and if it tastes any better fresh off the grill. The physical location I heard is in a rather spicy spot in town so I would advise caution and be aware of your surroundings. Will update my review in the future! Update: was expecting the food to come out piping hot while hearing the chef at work in the kitchen and none of my expectations were met when I ordered at their physical location. Experience was exactly as if I had the food delivered which is kind of disappointing considering I was dining in.

    Falafel platter
    Alex J.

    I tried this at the recommendation of my wife and people with whom she works. I did not know what to expect. I had never had halal food before. I will be having it again. I got the chicken over fries with white sauce. The chicken is marinated and seasoned. It practically falls apart in your mouth. It has a little heat to it, not overwhelming. The seasoned fries are really good too. Not just some frozen seasoned fry, this is a homemade season and it shows. My wife got the falafel platter. The falafel is great. Her favorite part is the salad. She would eat just that if it was on the menu. She got it with hot sauce and it has a nice kick to it. I would get this again.

    Chicken & lamb over rice plate

    Went for lunch & got chicken & lamb over rice plate. It was delish & I was stuffed! I also tried the baklava, and it was light and yummy! It's more of a takeout place, but we ate there & it was fine. Quiet and clean! The food was also in my hand in like 2 min. The service was fast & the dude was pleasant. I'll be baaack!

    My best friend showed me this place and was super excited to show me. The restaurant is super clean and very bright. We were greeted nicely and had our order taken quick. I say we waited about 20 min for our food which was great. Oh my gosh the wings were to die for! I don't think I could ever get wings from anywhere else it was so good. Their fries are also nicely seasoned. Their white sauce on top of the wings just gave it that extra push that I love. Since the first time I've been back twice and I'm about to go for a third time and I'm so excited. I've been raving about it to my family

Honestly, this alone is worth a visit and to me was the star of my food experience here. For my main I ordered the beef and lamb gyro platter. Sometimes lamb can be a little gamey but not this lamb. It was slow cooked for 48hr to achieve a deep garlicky flavor that was just decadent. The meet was tender and the rice fresh and the right ratio of sticky but firm. Finally I ended with the baklava. Flakey crunchy and sweet. This was a classic way to end a Mediterranean meal and it did not disappoint. While this place is in a strip mall, do not let the location fool you. The inside is tastefully decorated in an elegant understated way. The service was top tier. Our waiter was attentive, talked to us about the dishes we ordered, and had a genuine friendliness to him. If you are looking for Mediterranean food or just to try something new, I would highly recommend that you check out this spot.

We ordered thick not knowing that "thin" meant saj - why didn't she say SAJ??? There were an abundance of pickles in the shawarma, too many!! There was no creamy garlic sauce in it either. The whole thing fell apart. The baba was just weird. It was not a good, creamy consistency, but rather chunks of cooked eggplant, with chopped veggies. No smokey flavor at all. I thought different Middle East regions would have different versions of food, but this version was pretty bad. Meanwhile, the man who must have been the owner kept jumping up and talking. I thought, just shut up and learn how to make food. As far as decor, the place was decorated with "out of the book" decor that had no authenticity to Middle East ambience.

The owner himself came out after I finished eating and we had a nice little chat--he was telling me how his two sons are now working with him, which was really cool to hear. You can tell the family runs this place with heart, and it shows in the food. * Chicken Shawarma: Loaded--seriously, no skimping here. Piles of juicy, perfectly seasoned chicken, not the sad half-wraps you get elsewhere. And the fact it's served in puffy pita bread instead of those thin tortillas most places use? Game-changer. Tasted fresh and authentic. * Baba Ghanoush: Super fresh, creamy, and came with warm pita chips and bread on the side. Perfect balance, not too garlicky or oily. * Tabbouleh: Exactly how my grandma used to make it--bright, herby, lots of parsley and fresh tomato, lemony without being sour. Spot on. * Namorah (2 pieces): Chef's kiss. Moist, not dry like some versions, sweet but not overpowering, just the right texture. Finished them way too fast. Everything felt homemade and made with care. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the vibe is welcoming. This is the kind of place you tell your friends about. Would love to come back but was just passing through for work--highly recommend Thanks to the owner Adnan and the sons for the great food and the chat--keep doing what you're doing!

We also sprung for the grilled calamari tubes and the chef did a great job of not overcooking while achieving an excellent char. We shared the baked cod and the spice was delicate and perfect. Using cured lemon was a very clever idea as the sauce was not too strong but still had depth; the saffron and turmeric were well balanced. The fish itself was NOT overcooked and flaked perfectly. The vegetables were also executed well and cooked so they could be eaten with the same bite. The star of the show was still the cook on the fish with the wonderful sauce. The sever gave us some Moroccan mint tea which was also wonderful. We will be making the drive from the Maine Line to just to dine here again.

It could've been a little smokier for my taste, but overall I got a huge serving and it was very creamy and flavorful. The Sheppard's salad was similarly huge and delicious. The lentil soup tasted home-made and was so comforting to dip all of my extra bread in. At the end of lunch, I was also served some complimentary tea, which definiitely was the icing on the cake to this exceptional experience.

My water was constantly filled and the waiters checked on me numerous times to ensure everything was going well. The decorations inside were also exceptional, and the restaurant definitely gives high-class date night vibes. I could totally see coming back for a date night with my husband. I think the only downside is that I didn't find the food to be QUITE as good as some Paterson joints like Al Basha, and the price felt like it was 1.5x-2x as much. Probably worth it though, because this has got to be one of the better restaurants around in Flanders.
